I found this little program that shows what is loaded right now and how much CPU power is going to each one. Win Top Real cool.

Windows 2000 has one of those bad boys built in.

I think Windows ME might have one too, but I am not totally sure.

I just downloaded it and it looks like a good tool to me.

I had two experiences in the past when something was working on my hard drive constantly with the clicking noise and light blinking on the tower. One turned out to be caused by something running from the Backweb alerts from McAfee VirusScan which I got rid of just before McAfee did away with it last June. The other one I got rid of by shutting off the computer improperly and rebooting a few times. While it was running, the resource monitor showed 100% red on the graph. I never knew what caused that one. I think this site will now show the culprit if it comes back.

Sure is. I think there might be some at

Also look around the net for a program called Modem Doctor.

Sounds cool, but after I downloaded it, I couldn't get it to run.

When I double click on the 'wintop.zip' I get a window with the title "Open with":

"Click the program you want to use to open 'wintop.zip".

I have nothing but errors in trying all the different programs to open with............

Is there a program to use to open 'wintop.zip' with? I am using Windows 98.

PSYCHOKINESIS

- "Psy", as in driven mad !

- "Cho", as in choked on maddening amounts of detail necessary to make this "computer" work!

- "Kinesis", as in the energetic display of a frustrated user, who may yet test out the theory that this computer cannot absorb high impact collisions between concrete & my 1973 Ford 3/4 ton truck(Camper Special Edition)........

PSY'CHOK'INESIS? Heck, I dunno......
